Property Description

Commanding panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Catalina Island, Newport Harbor, and the famed Pelican Hill Golf Course, this stately French palatial manor was exquisitely reimagined in 2025, bringing a fresh sense of modern sophistication to its timeless European architecture. Set on a 13,155± sq. ft. parcel within the prestigious guard-gated enclave of Pelican Crest, the 8,367± sq. ft. residence showcases exceptional craftsmanship and an uncompromising selection of materials throughout. A dramatic two-story foyer, illuminated by an antique chandelier, introduces interiors layered with natural limestone and white oak herringbone flooring, hand-brushed Venetian plaster, Moka Creme honed stone in all wet areas, and bespoke solid brass hardware finished in oil-rubbed bronze or polished nickel. Beyond the grand staircase, gracious formal living and dining rooms feature custom fireplaces, while a richly appointed wood-paneled library offers an intimate retreat. The sun-filled family room, also anchored by a fireplace, flows directly into the gourmet kitchen. Designed as both a culinary showpiece and gathering space, the kitchen is appointed with Calacatta Vagli marble surfaces, custom cabinetry, dual refrigerators, professional-grade appliances, and a built-in upholstered banquette with custom breakfast table positioned to enjoy the ocean views. The opulent primary suite features a fireplace, custom-designed closet, and spa-inspired bath with an ocean-view soaking tub and architectural glass-block accents that welcome natural light. Five additional bedroom suites provide generous accommodations, while a tiered theater room, activity and fitness spaces, sauna, and steam room further enhance the home's amenities. A subterranean seven-car garage completes the interior offering. Extensive improvements include a new roof, new HVAC system, all-new plumbing connectors, and two new water heaters. Outdoors, new stucco and roofing complement lush entertaining spaces centered around a saltwater pool and spa and a BBQ kitchen with natural stone countertops—all framed by the estate's extraordinary coastal setting. A rare combination of grand European architecture, thoughtfully reimagined interiors, and commanding views, this Pelican Crest estate presents Newport Coast living at its most refined.
